[ovirt-users] hosted engine local disk estimate for OVA file

[Ben De Luca]

If it said where it was going to extract to it would be an easy work

There is not enough space in /var/lib/somdir/somdir/ to extract the image
<x> GiB is required.

If I hit that then I can just put some more disk on that directory.
